Creating a boot floppy for Linux Installation

         This is only necessary if you can not boot from the CD-ROM.
 

Creating Linux install diskette from a Microsoft OS: Use rawrite to load the file boot.img to the diskette from the CD-ROM (D:\ in this example):

       C:\> D:
       D:\> CD \DOSUTILS
       D:\DOSUTILS> RAWRITE D:\IMAGES\BOOT.IMG A:
    

RAWRITE does not work with NT/2000. Use winimage.

Creating Linux install diskette on Unix/Linux:

       mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
       cd /cdrom/images
       dd if=boot.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k

The -o ro option mounts the CR-ROM as Read Only.
